Question

slope of the line containing the points

(5, 9) and (-6, 1)

Answer 1

Use the point-slope form: \((y_1-y)=m(x_1-x)\)

Answer 2

Find the slope by using \(\large m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 3

Can you find the slope?

Answer 4

I Can Try

Answer 5

Good :)

Answer 6

I Got 3/5 ?

Answer 7

This wrong :)

Let me show you

Answer 8

K

Answer 9

\(\large m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x1}=\frac{1-9}{-6-5}=\frac{-8}{-11}=\frac{8}{11}\)

This is what you should get

Answer 10

Ok I messed up at -6 - 5 thanks

Answer 11

Now you got your slope, you can use the slope-intercept form to find the equation for the line passing through these two points!

\(\large y=mx+b\\y=\frac{8}{11}x+b\)

Can you take it from here?

Answer 12

No worries :)
